Update/Change License Information?

Customers are allowed one free name or address change during the term of their original driver's license/permit/ID card.

To change your address a second time or subsequent time, there will be a $10 fee. If you are within 150 days of the expiration date of your license, you will be required to renew your license.

DDS is strengthening its protocols for address changes that do not occur in person to curtail fraudsters who try to take advantage of online processes.

To initiate an address change, customers may choose one of the following options:

1. Create an online account then use the secure integrated Video Verification.
   
2. Create an online account then call the dedicated DDS customer service number (678)-413-8858 to conduct a secure video verification during our business hours Monday-Friday 8am to 5pm.
   
3. Visit your choice of DDS Customer Service Centers, bring one document with the new address on it, and be prepared to take a photo.
